1856-D Gold Dollar, AU58
Exceptional Rarity

1856-D G$1 AU58 PCGS. Winter 8-K. This is one of the rarest gold dollar issues, with just 1,460 coins minted. Because of production irregularities, this issue is seldom found nice. The hair near Liberty's forehead is always weak, the letter U is usually missing, and the date is characteristically weak. These are all issues involving the manufacture of these coins. After just a brief period in circulation, these issues are generally compounded. At the same time, a few Mint State examples are known. This example has light greenish-gold surfaces with satiny luster and reflective fields. As expected, the hair shows considerable weakness, and the U is extremely weak. The date is actually sharper than usual with only the digit 5 showing any signs of weakness, and even this digit is fully visible. Only a couple abrasions and faint scratches detract from the overall appearance of this desirable gold dollar. PCGS Population: 15 in 58, 8 finer (7/25).
